Sex & Nudity

  • A young couple are in home together. Nothing is shown but sex is implied.
  • Talks of cheating and extremely mild comments about sex.
  • No sex or nudity.
  • A woman is secretly seeing two men.

Violence & Gore

  • Explicit depictions of blood and violence especially in the latter part of the film.
  • Half brutal and bloody violence (hand gets hit with huge wrench, the main character is shown covered in blood, torture, stylised violence, gunfights and hand to hand combat)
  • Half strong. Nothing a 11/12 year old cannot handle. The John Wick movies is a lot more violent.
  • Contains a lot more violent scenes than Oldboy, which has some similarities to A Bittersweet Life, but it's another kind of violence. ABL is a mafia action/thriller. Oldboy is not about the mafia at all.
  • Several fatal shootings, often quite graphic with a good amount of blood and gore.
  • Lots of hand to hand combat.
  • A man is held down and get´s his fingers smashed by a very large wrench. There are a few closeups of his mangled and bloody hand.
  • Several times men are given severe beatings with various blunt objects.
  • A man is tied up, hung from the ceiling and beaten. His face is a bloody mess.
  • A man lies dead in a large pool of blood briefly. There is a brief head shot.
  • A man and woman are bound and gagged. It is implied they were previously tortured.

Profanity

  • A comment is made on balls.
  • Pretty heavy swearing.
  • Multiple uses of 'fuck', 'shit', 'asshole', and 'bastard'. Not much else, although it may depend on the subtitles.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Smoking exposed, but nothing to be worry of.
  • Several people are shown drinking alcohol. A character is shown drunk.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Several people are violently murdered. Overall a pretty tense movie.
  • A couple of brief beatings. Other instances of violence might be intense.
